    Synopsis:

    In a near-future world where the supernatural has faded from collective memory, unsettling disruptions begin to affect adults. Thirteen-year-old Mana, grappling with these inexplicable occurrences, seeks guidance from a forgotten realm – the Youkai. Her inquiry unexpectedly draws the attention of Kitarou, a spirited youkai tasked with mediating between the human and spirit worlds.

    The narrative unfolds amidst a backdrop of quiet urban landscapes subtly interwoven with hidden pockets of the supernatural. Kitarou’s presence serves as a bridge, navigating the delicate balance between human anxieties and the often-misunderstood world of yokai. The story explores themes of forgotten histories, communication across divides, and finding connection in unexpected places, offering a contemplative experience that blends gentle mystery with moments of whimsical charm.
